Lil Wayne�s long-time manager Cortez Bryant spoke to Andrew Barber of Fake Shore Drive for a lengthy interview, and he recalled how upset Lil Wayne once was when he realized he made a mistake on one lyric. Byrant had pressed up thousands of copies of a mixtape and uploaded it online, only for Wayne to realize a lyrical error he wanted to fix, but it was too late.
�The word starts with ph, but he said f, right?� said Bryant, who was unsure of the exact lyric until Barber pointed it out. �He was like, �Oh sh-t, I gotta change that.� We released it. We had an argument about that. He not understanding the concept about digital, and it�s gone now�We had pressed tons of CDs, but he didn�t realize he spelled it wrong, and I didn�t catch it.�
Byrant is most likely thinking of the 2009 song �Yes� which appeared on multiple mixtapes. One of Lil Wayne�s signature phrases is, �Weezy F. Baby and the F is for��
Despite the error, Bryant noted that how the incident reflected Wayne�s dedication to his craft.
�Wayne is a perfectionist about that, using his words and prepositions in [the] correct way,� explained Bryant. �He might misspell something on purpose for lyrical exercise and wordplay, but he�s really precise about his wordplay. He was really down, pissed, �F-ck the whole mixtape� just because of that one damn line.�
Elsewhere in the interview, Bryant said they are working on bringing all of Wayne�s mixtapes to streaming services.
